Now What?Resilience is the ability to come back from failure. If you’ve failed or been rejected, these five steps can be the key to help you move past failure and on to success: 1. Don’t overthink it. Don’t get obsessed thinking about what you could have done better. 2. Don’t take it personally. It’s easier said than done, but learn to separate criticism of the project from criticism of you. 3. Find objective advice. Find another experienced person that you trust and run the project by them for a second opinion. 4. Ask for constructive criticism. At the moment of failure or rejection, keep a cool head and ask for constructive criticism. 5. Don’t let failures derail your dream. It happens! Keep moving forward. Don’t be afraid to fail, especially if you’re expanding your tent poles. If you’re breaking new ground or trying new things – that’s not the time to be timid! That’s the time to try things, and if you fail, learn from your failures and move on.

You never know what could happen. 2. Become an expert. Find a niche in your field and become an expert. What have you done in your career that is unique? 3. Plan ahead. Most conferences are planned out a year in advance. Don’t wait until the last minute to reach out. (And always be ready for last-minute changes!) 4. You don’t need an agent. Don’t feel like you need an agent to get invitations. They may be able to negotiate a deal but may not be the one to get you the job as a speaker. 5. Take the time to become a great speaker. Being an expert does not necessarily mean you’ll be a great speaker. If you’re incorporating software like Powerpoint or Keynote, learn to speak well first; then bring the Powerpoint into it. Become an amazing speaker!
